    I've been trying to search the forums to get some pictures of bumper builds for 2nd gens and all I can find are off the shelf bumpers. Anyone have any pictures of their builds or links to other peoples builds they know of?

    Thats a great start. What I'm planning on building is something similar to ARB with light protection and spot to mount limb risers. But less shitty and less expensive. lol

    It's not as heavy as it looks. It's probably about 175 pounds. With the OME 886, it sits just fine

    If you hit something...there's gonna be a lot of broken lights and a ton of broken glass!

    Yeah, I didn't realize that until afterwards. Then, I sold the truck last fall so I never bothered to fix it.

    Also, those are all stock fog lights so there's no glass. They're 100% plastic and you could easily replace all 6 of those lights for less than $80.
